Knowledge Fight’s #684 dissects Alex Jones’ May 20, 2022, episode, where he falsely claimed a UN-WEF deal in Geneva (May 23–28) would enforce global lockdowns via military force under Biden’s orders—a theory debunked by hosts Dan Friesen and Jordan Holmes. He also linked monkeypox to AstraZeneca/J&J vaccines, citing Bill Gates’ 2021 warnings and a misrepresented Pennsylvania truck crash involving non-monkeypox-infected monkeys, despite only 92 confirmed cases worldwide. Jones later pivoted to COVID vaccine "true crime" narratives with Peter McCullough and John Leake, ignoring mainstream corrections while promoting fringe conspiracy theories as fact. The episode reveals Jones’ pattern of cherry-picked claims and deliberate misinformation, reinforcing his role as a persistent purveyor of unverified, often absurd, narratives that undermine public trust in science and institutions. [Automatically generated summary]
And, you know, I've seen so many of these stories where people accidentally reveal themselves, so I've got another pair of pants on top of that, just to be in case.
We've taken, between us, four COVID tests, one at a hospital, and all have come back negative, so we're pretty sure it's just that regular old flu from the flu times, I guess.
Short-lived, very well-forgotten TV show Alcatraz starring Sam Neill.
I think it was Sam Neill.
So, yeah, Jordan, today we were going to do something to put Alex on the back burner.
I was wanting to put him in timeout because...
He sucks.
Yeah.
You know, not a fun time.
After the last week's coverage of the Buffalo shooting, I felt like the Alex Jones was right stuff about that was just getting to be a little bit obnoxious.
And so the deposition was a green pasture for us to go into.
If you remember three years ago, we said the UN's going to release some type of bioweapon, probably a SARS-CoV-2 type.
That's what they're cooking up.
We already had the documents then.
They were up there bragging on C-SPAN, Peter Daszak, and Fauci that a big imminent thing was about to happen.
It would change the whole world and blow up the FDA system and other systems and allow them to just get things approved instantly, and it would be mRNA.
For one thing, Alex has been claiming that a false flag bio-attack is right around the corner regularly for the past 20 years.
He definitely could find some clips of him saying something like that from 2019 in the same way that he could find clips where he said that in 2008 or any other year.
We'll get to how heavy the overlaps are a little bit later.
So beyond that, Alex is making shit up about what he predicted in order to make himself seem more accurate.
He wasn't talking about mRNA vaccines until right up to the point where the right-wing blogs he reads, the headlines started to get upset about that as a new angle to attack vaccines as a whole.
This is part of the reason that Alex Jones was right, that meme is so insidious.
If you've bought into the Alex Jones was right game, then you might be far more willing to hear Alex make stuff up about his past predictions and accept them as true.
Once you believe that Alex has been right more about stuff than you think, you subordinate your own instincts and critical thinking to Alex's imaginary expertise.
Also, the reason that Alex is starting off covering this story by rambling bullshit about how he's been so right about stuff in the past is because it's a less openly desperate way for him to beg the audience to believe what he's about to tell them.
The UN starts their meetings on the 23rd to the 28th.
In Switzerland, in Geneva, they signed a deal two weeks ago that the World Economic Forum will direct them.
So private corporations are now in direct control of the UN.
They say the treaty's secret, but Tedros and Gates, we played the clips, it's all over the news, have said, yes, Biden has gone in and gotten a copy of the treaty and has demanded that the UN be given power over nation states.
To sanction, even with military operations, anyone that doesn't follow the U.S. orders.
So this is a world government treaty putting the U.N. in control of the major Western militaries to enforce the new lockdown that will make the last one look like a walk in the park, even compared to what you saw in places like Australia and New Zealand and Canada.
Yeah, there's a planned discussion of the international health regulations, and there's an aim at improving international responses to future pandemic threats.
That's basically the kernel of truth that's behind all this bullshit.
So much of what Alex is talking about traces back to narratives that have spread about the amendments that could be added to these regulations.
Some of the amendments in these blogs are made up, but there's one that has to do with Article 12 that's actually real, but it's being lied about.
This proposed amendment would change how the director general of the WHO determines a health emergency.
Previously, the director general and the state.
where the pandemic is thought to be active would need to agree on the fact that there is a health emergency before the World Health Organization could make a determination.
Now, now the state party is not required to agree that there's a health emergency.
The impetus of this amendment is really obvious.
There's a concern that in the early days of COVID, the Chinese government may not have been perfectly transparent about the situation, and whether or not that had a material impact on how the world responded, it raises important points.
If there's a public health emergency that could affect other countries and possibly the entire world, what do you do if you have reason to suspect that a country isn't being forthcoming about the situation or not cooperating or giving information and data to the rest of the world?
to base their decisions on.
This amendment seeks to address this by allowing the World Health Organization to not require a state to sign on to their determinations This is ridiculous.
So Alex believes that they've been broadcasting this stuff, that there's going to be another pandemic.
I mean, spoiler alert, all this is about monkeypox, and we'll get to that here in a minute.
But Alex is being like, yeah, they said all this in advance in order to let you know that it's going to happen, because they're like villains in comic books.
Because Alex believes that the world is basically a children's cartoon.
So you have that going on, and what is their pretext going to be?
And that's the new big story.
And this has been going on for a few weeks.
And back last year and earlier this year, I said it over and over again.
I said these criminals always telegraph what they're going to do, to hide it in plain view, and to be confident to their criminal armies who are involved in this that they're going to get away with it.
This is what psychos do.
They love to brag.
So, that's basic criminology.
That's why in all the supervillain cartoons and Marvel cartoons and James Bond movies, the villain always monologues.
Yeah, because as viewers, we're aware of a lot of stuff that the characters aren't, and so the bad guy telling the hero what their plan is, it kind of serves as a shortcut to get them up to speed on what everyone's doing so we're all on the same page and we can get to the climax of the film.
Also, I thought Alex's imaginary enemies do this announcing stuff in advance because they have to according to intergalactic laws.
I thought they had to tell everyone what they were going to do so if you don't choose to fight back against it, you're basically accepting and consenting to what they're doing.
Alex seems to have forgotten that storyline.
Also, he seems to have forgotten the whole race war lockdowns thing and moved smoothly back to pandemic lockdowns.
I wonder why.
Oh my god, nothing on this show means anything at all.
So you gotta get rid of all of those meet-cute storylines, and you gotta get back to the main storyline and make sure everybody's ready to find out who shot JR.
It's almost like Alex was desperately grabbing at straws at anything he could do to deflect attention away from the reality of the story of the Buffalo shooting.
And now that it's kind of blown over, at least the point at which he's worried about the conversation that's happening, he can move on to other things and pretend that all that shit, he never really said that race war lockdowns were right around the corner, and that's been the globalist's plan.
Right, well, at the same time, acting as though, I mean, it was like a completely reasonable thing for him to say at the time, but now that that's blown over, I mean, it's just a mess of...
Also, one of the amendments to the International Health Regulation is that the Director General and Satan and the head of state don't all have to agree.
Satan is also out of the loop for health emergencies.
I think anybody who listens to our show enough and has a vague awareness of the world would have been able to tell already that this is about monkeypox.
I wasn't ready to hit it yesterday because I wanted to spend hours last night and hours today going over it.
And I've overdone it as usual.
I've got hundreds of documents, studies, all the damn proof here.
And when I'm sitting here reading this in private, I mean, I'm not even angry at these people anymore.
My cells, my guts, my brain, my soul is, you're going to stop these people, Jones, or you're to blame.
I'm pissed at myself when I'm reading this.
Because I've got clips of Gates bragging last year that there'll soon be smallpox and monkeypox and giggling and laughing and say the next pandemic will be far worse.
Then they put in all the orders for the new monkeypox vaccine.
Biden just bought tens of millions of doses yesterday.
And then magically, right on time, right as the vaccine's delivered, monkeypox pops up in more than 20 countries.
So in the present day, Alex is intentionally mixing up cause and effect in order to create the appearance of conspiracy.
He's claiming that Biden ordered these monkeypox vaccines and then later monkeypox cases popped up.
By presenting things like this, Alex is very explicitly trying to tell his audience that the order for vaccines was made because of foreknowledge of the coming monkeypox cases.
This is important for Alex to convey to his audience because it's a lie that he can use as a foundation upon to build his argument that the whole thing was a false flag outbreak.
Despite the fact that even if it was the case that he ordered it before, again, it is a very smart move to have vaccines for diseases that are possibly going to come.
Yeah, but, like, if you had just out of the blue randomly ordered these monkeypox vaccines, it would seem a little bit more suspicious.
But in the real world...
The U.S. government ordered $119 million worth of a vaccine, which is good for smallpox and monkeypox, after a case was confirmed in Massachusetts, the first in the U.S. during this outbreak.
So that's why the order was made.
It wasn't like, well in advance, ha-ha, we know it's coming, let's get these vaccines ready.
No, I mean, it's so hard to understand scale anymore.
You know, like, $119 million is so much fucking money.
But then again, you remind yourself in terms of scale, that's like the American government, like, peeing just a little bit in your mouth and being like, hey, this is close.
But it's millions of doses, but it's in the low millions of doses, and that's about what you would expect in the case that you might see more cases and want to inoculate, let's say, healthcare workers that might be in contact with people, or if you can identify clusters.
You know, there is a utility to this, but it's not like...
It's not like Operation Warp Speed where it's like billions of dollars.
But the first case in this outbreak was reported to the World Health Organization on May 7th, and it was an individual from the UK who traveled to Nigeria.
Since then, there have been 92 laboratory-confirmed cases in 12 countries where monkeypox is not endemic.
This is a big deal in as much as any novel spreading of a disease is a big deal, but it's not time for Mike Adams to come back and declare that it's over for humanity.
Which I imagine we'll be seeing before too long, based on the way Alex is going about this.
It's really hard to say for sure how this is going to progress, but I tend to agree with the World Health Organization's assessment that it's highly likely that there will be more cases that are identified, but I also feel like it would be hasty to jump to the conclusion that this is going to be any kind of large-scale pandemic all over again.
Like I said, in 2003, there were 71 reported cases in six U.S. states, and through proper tracing practices and targeted vaccine deployment, the outbreak didn't spread.
This is something to be aware of, and obviously people should be careful as best they can, but the type of hyping and fear-mongering Alex is engaging in here is deeply irresponsible.
So, one of the things that's fun about this turn of events, these cases being identified of monkeypox, is it allows Alex to, like, play some new games with COVID conspiracies.
I feel like the songs that he was playing about COVID vaccines and stuff were getting a little bit tired.
And thankfully, this has opened up a new avenue of, like, jazz improvisation for him.
All over Europe, all over the U.S., all over everywhere.
Where you have people taking AstraZeneca, AstraZeneca, and J&J, ladies and gentlemen.
Because what is AstraZeneca and J&J?
They're virus vectors that inject the genome of a chimpanzee into your cells and then order your cells to replicate under those orders using a virus to deliver the pack.
That story about smallpox being found in a freezer was kind of a hoax.
In mid-November 2021, there were a bunch of headlines about vials being found in a lab in Pennsylvania that were labeled smallpox.
Idiots like Alex, who just report on headlines, ran with the story at face value, and they weren't listening when the CDC announced that they'd tested the vials and they contained no traces of the virus that causes smallpox.
The vials have been labeled this way because they contain vaccinia, which is the virus that's used in the creation of the smallpox virus, but it doesn't give you smallpox.
Well, I don't know, because I think a lot of those articles will include updates or they'll like, you know, I think that that behavior you see with Alex, but he just doesn't.
So the woman that Alex is referring to didn't get monkey pox, but she did get sick after getting hissed at by one of the monkeys when she came in contact with its saliva.
There's a lot of questions, but what we do know is that she didn't have monkeypox.
Alex is just throwing shit at the wall here, connecting unconnected dots in order to make a truly bizarre conspiracy theory.
If AstraZeneca and the J&J vaccine caused monkeypox, we would be seeing so many more cases than we are, and they wouldn't have just happened now.
They would have happened sooner since millions of people have taken that shot, and it's not like it's a new shot in the grand scheme of things, but it's not like...
It just rolled out last month or whatever, two months ago.
Yeah, I think he's relying heavily on his audience not to stop and think, wait a second, haven't millions upon millions of people received this vaccine already?
That Alex conceivably should be in favor of because, you know, countries like China may or may not have withheld information that could have been useful.
So, once again, I forgot that this is all in service of the UN eventually being able to, during the next possible pandemic, go and double-check to see if China is lying to us.
So Alex is making shit up because the AstraZeneca vaccine uses a recombinant replication-deficient chimpanzee adenovirus vector in order to deliver the vaccine.
He saw chimpanzee and then decided to run with it full speed.
The Adenovirus is not the virus that causes smallpox.
That would be variola, which isn't even used in the smallpox vaccine, because why would you do that?
But isn't he using it to give himself regenerative properties and then leave the planet, and that's probably how he's going to be able to breathe in space?
One of the obvious tells that Alex doesn't mean a single word he's saying, and you even responded to this, is that he's connecting it to the midterms.
Does he really expect me to believe that some evil group of villains is going to launch a smallpox outbreak in order to possibly win a few seats in the midterms?
That's so fucking stupid.
The amount of damage that would be caused by a smallpox outbreak is almost hard to put into words.
And if the globalists were really trying to depopulate the planet, I don't think they would care that much about whether or not the GOP takes back the Senate.
It's so weird how the clips that seem most explicitly in line with the bullshit Alex is saying aren't the ones he plays.
It's like weird how the dynamic always seems to be present, where he just tells the audience about those ones and then plays other clips that don't really make the points he needs them to.
This clip that he's talking about is really interesting, though, because he says that Gates was threatening that the next pandemic would get attention.
That seems weird because this one's gotten a whole lot of fucking attention.
So here's the actual clip that Alex is talking about.
I want to challenge you, Jordan, to pay attention.
He specifically said at the beginning they didn't pay attention to the variable of nursing homes and stuff like that.
He's saying there are factors that we missed in the course of this public health response that we'll get attention in the case of a future public health emergency.
Now, I'm pretty sure what he was trying to say is that next time, in the next few years when this one happens, the New York Times will finally cover the story.
It'll get more attention than the thing that's dominated people's lives for years.
Okay, great.
Also, Alex has absolutely zero idea whether or not the people who have got monkeypox are vaccinated.
He's making that up that they are because his new conspiracy depends on that being true, but he couldn't demonstrate this claim if his life depended on it.
There is a decent chance that some of the folks who got sick had been vaccinated just based on percentages.
That wouldn't surprise me too much, but.
Alex is going to have to work way harder if he wants to claim there's some sort of causation here, which is definitely the tree he's barking up.
There's a pretty decent chance that it is a little bit more than that, but yeah, it's like 92 confirmed cases as of the preparation of this episode, according to...
World Health Organization.
And they're in different countries that have different vaccines approved in them.
This would be a very difficult narrative to make stick in any audience that's not Alex's audience because he's trained them to believe whatever dumb shit he says.
So Alex is talking about this monkeypox situation, and he makes a bizarre leap because I think that he's running out of ground to run, like the roadrunner, you know?
That sleight of hand is really important to recognize as a trick he uses to distract the audience and make them think that he's proven something when in reality he hasn't said shit.
There was an outbreak of hepatitis, but the World Health Organization was pretty clear that it had nothing to do with the COVID vaccine since, quote, the vast majority of affected families.
Cool.
Also, the headline Alex is reporting on about the deputy public health minister in Madrid, that's from Gateway Pundit, and it's actually completely wrong.
The minister in question, Antonio Zapatero, had actually said the opposite and was being critical of inaccurate media reports linking the vaccine to the hepatitis cases.
The Spanish health ministry released a clarification because of this.
Alex is actually just reporting on an article that was 180 degrees from the truth.
So yeah, this is a case study of a single person who got meningitis after vaccination.
There's not a causal link established, but I was able to find a second case study covering two patients, which recommends that doctors be aware of this phenomenon, but doesn't say that the vaccines caused it.
Also, all the patients that are in question made a full recovery with, quote, no residual neurological deficits.
This study does nothing to further Alex's claims, and it's not related to...
This isn't a study and the article itself doesn't back up Alex's claims.
This is from the Australian government's health website.
The AstraZeneca vaccine doesn't contain animal DNA.
It uses an adenovirus that infects chimpanzees as a vector, but that's not the same thing.
The article doesn't back up Alex's claims at all, but the headline contains all the words Alex needs to create a certain appearance and the audience doesn't care what the actual article says.
Alex answers the question in the headline.
And they accept that as truth as opposed to what the source Alex is using actually says.
The reason that Alex trails off and then just says that the article goes on to lay it all out is because he's cold reading this, and he realizes in the middle of that that the article contradicts him, so he needs to bail and just start rambling.
Whenever you hear him say, it goes on, that is a tell that he's in over his head, and he doesn't know the information he's pretending to, and probably what he's about to read accidentally would be counter to his entire narrative.
To be fair, Alex does not believe in evolution, so he probably would disagree with you on that.
So, look, we already know now that the race war narratives and the race war lockdowns that Alex was really concerned about earlier in the week Yeah, we just passed on those.
The public health lockdown stuff is more pressing now, and this is the biggest news that Alex has covered in his 28 years on air.
Putin's top aide predicts global famine of Armageddon-like and apocalyptic, these are, quote, proportions, all based on the two-plus-year lockdown, where in many third-world countries, the IMF and World Bank ordered them to have up to two years of lockdown, devastating them, collapsing them.
Yeah, I mean, like, there's a plan in place that Alex is pointing to of replacement.
Yeah, I mean, I think that it's notable that the hateful elements of his Buffalo shooting coverage remain while the fear-based things that he wants the audience to engage with have shifted over to...
So he announced that he was going to vote Republican.
Is that what he did?
Well, that's one thing.
And then he said that attacks on him would intensify.
And then it turned out that prior to him making those tweets, someone had reached out about allegations that he had exposed himself to a flight attendant.
And a lot of people are putting some pieces together and thinking, hey, maybe this whole thing about voting Republican and the attacks against me are going to intensify.
Maybe some sort of a preemptive way to get ahead of a story.
There are allegations, and look, obviously I don't know all the ins and outs and all the details of everything, but I would say that Elon Musk's behavior has not come off great.
Every time somebody bucks the globalist, they're going to do the Me Too thing.
And he's challenging this stewardess on a private jet who's in failed accuracy saying and saying, tell me this very identifiable thing on my genitals if I supposedly showed you my genitals.
And this is, again, all being done to punish him because he says he's going to vote Republican.
That is a smart way to try and evade accountability in the court of public opinion, is just suddenly be like, hey, I'm right-wing, and they're attacking the right wing.
It has nothing to do with being held accountable for my shitty behavior.
And for me, it's pretty obvious the next big lockdown, the next big rollout, and the way to get this power-grabbing, sovereignty-destroying UN biomedical tyranny in is currently with the smallpox hysteria that I'm predicting is going to go ahead and escalate out of control, just like COVID.
Not gonna listen to a ton of Barnes's interview, but it should be noted that a lot of it is him talking about how he's working with Robert Kennedy Jr. to do, like, litigation against the vaccine and stuff.
And so, like, yeah, maybe...
Maybe you have a little bit of a biased perspective on this.
So the other guest that Alex has is a duo, a twofer.
And it's Peter McCullough, who is a big anti-vax doctor, and a guy named John Leak, who is an author.
And the thrust of this interview is that John Leake has written a book about McCullough called The Courage to Fight COVID-19 or something like that.
And here's the situation.
I find this to be a fairly damning book to exist and also an interview because...
This leak guy, he fancies himself a true crime author.
And so the perspective that he took and the entry point for him in terms of covering COVID-19 was as a true crime story.
And then he involved Peter McCullough in...
To help him with the, like, scientific aspects of this.
So now you have a guy who's invested in writing a book from a true crime angle about the COVID vaccine, and the main subject of his book is this Peter McCullough guy who's going around, appearing on Tucker, appearing on Laura Ingraham's show, appearing with Joe Rogan.
It would look bad if you were like, well, you know what?
I've gone over this, and it turns out I think that some of our previous assumptions that this true crime novel were based on are maybe a little bit faulty.
So their interview is not really all that important, past that just sort of revelation that you have...
This sort of dynamic involved where this guy who's supposed to be a truth teller about all the stuff that the media is covering up about Ivermectin or whatever the fuck.
He has this sort of side influence, let's say, that makes some of his perspectives a little bit questionable.
But there are some funny things.
The first is that Alex, this clip is just great because I think it's Alex talking himself into being like, Yeah, I can say I've read your books.
Well, I can't wait to read the book because when I'm reading the synopsis here, I'm not a historian or criminologist like you that writes famous, powerful, true crime books, but just studying criminology.
And I have read some of your books now that I remember and think about it because I like true crime.
So we have one last clip here, and it's that guy, John Leak, the writer here, talking to Alex about the way that we counter the propaganda that's going on in the mainstream media about health.
I mean, I think it starts with being aware that you're swimming in this sea of propaganda.
I mean, you know, this may seem like normalcy because the messaging has been so relentless, but once you realize a normal is being created when you turn on the television, quit accepting that that...
Television is an accurate representation of reality.
